Dinner. NYE. 2013

Felt like having scallops. And for the longest time, felt like having a good steak. So went shopping in Isetan, and was hovering around the beef section.

Miyazaki wagyu @ $32 per 100gms? Faints. Bought USA prime ribeye beef instead. About $12 for 150gms. Hmm...not exactly cheap also. Hope it taste good!

mine...all mine!

Have never cooked steak before, and was too lazy to see any recipe so just decided to marinate it with salt, pepper, sesame oil and a dash of soy sauce. Unfortunately, splashed too much of soy sauce!

absorbing the marinade

Kept the meat in the freezer till an hour before cooking time. Then, left it to sit at room temperature.

cook all with butter

The scallops didn't sear enough, but didn't want to overcook it as it might turn too rubbery. *imagine Gordon Ramsay throwing all those rubber scallops back at ya*

Scallops were alright. Was abit worried that it might be undercooked, so popped it into the toaster for another 5 minutes. Texture was similar to lightly boiled/cooked scallops. A darker sear on its outerside would be perfect.

ribeye steak - well done

As the steak was a little thin, should've just sear it for less than 10 seconds on each side. Thought it was cooked well done, prime ribeye beef is a piece of good meat. Tender, and plenty of fats. Yums. Just need to tone down on the marinade, next time.

Bon appetit~ Have a Happy New Year!
